## i **Freehold Land** 

During 2009 the previous village hall, being beyond economic repair, was demolished and replaced with a new hall on the same freehold site (Freehold title number CH409675). The freehold land has been retained in the accounts at £20,036 being the combined carrying value of the land and old hall in the accounts as at 31 December 2008. In the view of the trustees this represents a reasonable value of the freehold land. 

## ii **Village Hall Development Project** 

The development project was completed during 2011 and costs have been allocated to Freehold Improvements and Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment as appropriate. 

## iii **Legal mortgage** 

The trustees have granted a legal charge to Big Lottery Fund on the Charity's freehold land and property secured by way of a legal mortgage. Under the terms of the charge, in the event that the trustees within 20 years of payment of the Big Lottery Fund Capital Grant be in breach of any of the grant conditions the grant shall be repayable and the Fund shall be entitled to exercise the powers of sale and appoint a receiver.
